This job was good for me at the time because I was new in town and it gave me a good start. I don't have any regrets and will always be thankful for the chance to work for the company. I learned that I am far better with people that I thought and this helped me with the job I have today. So for that again thankful.

I learned that working in a correctional complex is different from the rest of the healthcare format. I learned that you have to consider that the patients I worked with on a daily basis with were crimincals and there were lines you could not cross. The duties themself were easy to manage and complete regularly. My coworkers were friendly. Management was friendly but not very strong when it came to disputes amongst other coworkers. I enjoyed learning new computer programs. The hardest part about working there was the constant worry about my safety.

A typical day at work consisted of dealing with angry callers, and trying to set up payment arrangements and or taking payments regarding debts.I learned to deal with unruly customers. I also learned how to mentor new hires that were just starting on the phones.The hardest part of the job was trying to meet production needs and getting people to pay their debt.I loved mentoring.

Pros: everything runs according to mandated standards. no shortcuts, no subjectivity.

Cons: sometimes sweated too much of the small stuff, i fondly recall 11/2 hr debate of if backpacks should go in cubby or hallway during an event :)

As a employee, I cannot give enough praise for the support received to ensure every teacher and TA could do their job with excellence. You were praised for your strengths and had others walk along side you and help develop your weaknesses. You always received constructive criticism with suggestions and strategies to be the best teacher you could possibly be. Support staff invested their time into your classroom to provide ways to achieve excellence throughout the entire program.

The job itself is difficult because the company does not have professional people employed there. The main top manger never came to see her staff and the line supervisor was not supportive and seemed disturbed. The actual people that work together in a unit talk about each other and all the personal information, it is really inappropriate for the work place. The copy room: you can see other copies that have detailed private information about a clients care plan and etc.. They do not practice privacy/hippa and perform open interviews, gathering all the clients information in a common area, where anyone could hear. The work environment appears very disorganized and dirty with a smelly bathroom and filthy dirty kitchen/microwave. They had a promotional thing going on to promote open doors in the office, but by leaving your door open to your office, you are faced with loud screaming children and clients that just walk in and disrupt you; very unorganized to say the least. They primarily assist women with children or if you are pregnant and individuals with mental health issues. I could not believe how many people call there for basic help and they are turned away because they do not have enough employees to take on the massive caseloads; it appeared no body knew how to get these people help. Overall, they need to revamp the management at this place, it was absolutely horrible and reportable! I hope that someone did give them a visit to at least teach them what privacy is all about! I would never refer anyone to this organization to work or to obtain assistance.

My job as a Medical Assistant changes constantly. I never really have a “typical” workday, since I see a variety of different things each day. My clinic accepts scheduled patients as well as walk-ins, which tends to make things very busy for me and the other Medical Assistants and staff. While things can get a little hectic at times, the fast pace makes for an exciting workday with rarely a dull moment – which I love!One of the best things about being a Medical Assistant is the wide variety of work I do. Medical Assistants have the opportunity to practice seeing patients in many different medical specialties, from dermatology to podiatry to obstetrics to optometry. This job was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but all of the experience I’ve gained while working here has been great! I have even decided, because I love the field so much, that I want to continue in my education and become a Physician’s Assistant.
